Another bolt of lightning struck, and this time Sherlock finally saw the figure of the other party. There was a huge black shadow hovering in the whirlpool, climbing up along the whirlpool.
Although it was only for a moment, the scene he saw still gave him a huge impact. The shadow couldn't really be the mysterious player. The opponent rushed into the vortex not to get into the center but to climb to the top.
But what's the point of this? Sherlock couldn't figure it out. He could only wait for the situation to develop. From the constant weak roar, he could feel that this time would not be too long.
After seven thunders, a particularly bright light flashed, and the huge shadow finally reached the top of the whirlpool. From this lightning, you can imagine how loud the next thunder will be.
But Sherlock no longer has time to pay attention to this, because at this moment, the whirlpool at the bottom of the lake seems to have lost the support of the mysterious power and is slowly calming down.
Right now, he kicked his legs violently and rushed towards the center of the whirlpool.
In just a few seconds, the whirlpool turned into a fierce current, and it continued to weaken. Sherlock bumped into it, and his whole body passed through it and came to the edge of a huge stone platform.
.
There is a stone pillar with a circular outer surface and a square inner surface placed on the huge stone platform. It is almost three feet high and as thick as a person. There are two statues on both sides of the stone pillar.
The statue is neither a human nor some strange evil creature, but two weapons.
A scimitar with exquisite shape and great curvature, like a waning moon.
A composite longbow covered with rock thorns and with wing-like decorations on both ends.
It turns out that there really is something else inside this whirlpool, and it's completely beyond Sherlock's imagination.
He originally thought that a golden treasure chest would reach the sky, but now it seems that a golden treasure chest is nothing but bullshit.
Although the scene on the stone platform was spectacular, he still clearly distinguished the priorities. The stone pillar in the middle was obviously the key, and he began to study it as soon as he stepped forward.
The one-piece stone platform has no gaps at all, except for two grooves in the shape of a day and a month at the top.
Damn it! After checking again and finding nothing else, Sherlock immediately cursed. This obviously requires a key or something to open it.
Just show me this with your pants off. It's really better not to let him encounter this feeling of encountering a treasure mountain and returning empty-handed.
Seeing that the water around him became violent again, Sherlock reluctantly made the decision to give up and exit. A bright light flashed across his eyes when he lowered his head.
It’s a colorful scale!
System prompt: You get colorful dragon fish scale*1
Seeing the system prompt in the player log, Sherlock immediately stopped walking. Just by the name, you can tell that these colorful dragon fish scales are special.
This mechanism cannot be opened, but there are many such scales around the stone platform.
He kept raking his hands on the ground, and in less than 10 seconds, he picked up all the scales on the stone platform, and then fled out of the whirlpool that was about to return to its original state.
1, 2, 3... 19! Finally, his work was not in vain. He looked at the 19 scales in the space ring and sighed happily, as long as he earned it.
As for this mysterious stone platform, as long as it is here, there will always be opportunities in the future.
At this moment, the bottom of the lake has returned to its original calmness again, but the schools of fish scurrying around have not yet recovered from the fright. Sherlock is not ready to continue looking for the leader monster at this time. He will surface with just a few kicks.
"How, was it successful?"
"Well, it's exactly what Cowellnas said."
Sherlock, who was hiding under the water, heard the conversation between the two and did not go up.
Are the female elf and the mysterious player under the water really a team? He had made this speculation before.
"Has Ziling arrived?" the man asked.
"It's almost time. It's said that we have arrived in Locke Town."
"Well, let's go then. I guess Xiao Wu can't wait any longer."
"Ever since I took that mission, I haven't seen Mingkong, a scheming lolita, for a long time." Upon hearing Xiao Wu's name, the female elf seemed to have thought of something, let out a chuckle, and then said behind her,
"Druid, we have to leave, why don't you come out?"
"Or you want me to use sonic explosions to force you out!"
Seeing that he couldn't hide anymore, Sherlock could only jump out of the water and said, "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to eavesdrop."
Whether intentional or not, eavesdropping on other people's conversations is never a good-natured act.
"After listening to her for so long, she still said she didn't mean it." The female elf's bare feet glowed with a butterfly-like rainbow light, and the short sword in her hand was covered with a white light and pierced her.
Why does he always encounter players like this who fight whenever they disagree? Why can't he just sit down and talk quietly?
This female elf directly activated Butterfly Foot and Sword Dance! She seems to be a troubadour of the sword dance type.
The combination of these two skills is comparable to light armor combat with Flowing Clouds and Gale in frontal combat, and once the opponent adds layers of Sword Dance, the skill damage will become very terrifying.
Sword Dance: Each attack will superimpose a layer of sword dance state, increasing attack speed and movement speed, up to five layers.
Sword Dance is the basic skill of the Sword Dance system. The additional Sword Dance status is not only a BUFF, but also a kind of energy points. The release of many other skills requires the consumption of Sword Dance layers.
Almost all sword dance poets can learn this skill, but the effect of using it varies from person to person.
Because this skill has an action loop, players must complete the actions in the routine in sequence when using it.
For example, if the next standard action after a straight thrust is a sweep, then you can only perform this action within the specified time. Otherwise, not only will the sword dance layers be unable to be stacked, but the entire sword dance will also be interrupted.
This action loop system is built-in, and players can also design it themselves, but the system will give a score based on the difficulty of performing the entire routine. This score will affect the effect of the sword dance state and the amplification intensity of other skills.
Therefore, the rationality of the action circuit and the timing of use are the biggest difficulties in this skill.
Generally, players need to spend a lot of time practicing to master the operation of sword dance, but for those with dance skills, this process is much simpler.
Sherlock didn't want to cause such a meaningless conflict, or in other words, he had no confidence in one versus two, so he jumped back and stood firmly on the water with his webbed feet.
This was discovered before at Kaquelu Lake. In blue frog form, he has the ability to stand on the water.
The male player opposite may be able to fight underwater, but he may not have this skill.
"I have already apologized, and it was indeed unintentional. There is no need to kill everyone." He said this, but the huge storm shuriken in his hand showed that he was not afraid of fighting.
